Well from that video, he has great level change, uses one move to transition to second move(a skill that a number of resent hawks haven’t had), great hips/radial motion, and probably stupid strong(most elite Greco guys are). If he can defend/anticipate leg attacks and get out from bottom against D1 athletes he could be a beast in Folk. I am so glad we have him our room and believe he can bring a lot to the team.

He is very intriguing. If he can figure out top/bottom in folkstyle he could be a real diamond in the rough at a need weight for the Hawks. He is going to be f@n to watch in neutral. I like the Adonian/Gomez comparison with Black.
